H.234 is a bill introduced by Representative Casey of Montpelier that aims to amend the State Employees Labor Relations Act regarding the inclusion of adjunct faculty in collective bargaining units. The bill specifies that the Labor Relations Board must allow adjunct faculty at the University of Vermont and Vermont State Colleges to be considered for inclusion in a bargaining unit based on the effective date of their employment agreement or the first teaching day of their first class, whichever comes first. This change is intended to clarify the eligibility of adjunct faculty for collective bargaining.

The bill includes an amendment to 3 V.S.A. § 941, which outlines the procedures for unit determination, certification, and representation. Specifically, it adds a new provision that directly addresses the inclusion of adjunct faculty in bargaining units. Additionally, the bill states that it will take effect on July 1, 2025.
